This image is the subject of one of our LensWork Creative Labs where I discuss how I created this color treatment. LensWork Creative Labs are a part of our membership-only website, but below is the link to the video so those of you who aren't members can view it. BTW, this is Lab #61, so there's lot's more available to members, if you are so inclined.

Also, note that this image was shot using ISO 3200, handheld with image stabilization at 1/25th of a second. Even when I zoom in to look at the details, the sensor noise is slight and perfectly acceptable. Amazing. True, I used some noise reduction (level 65) in Lightroom, but that isn't cheating, is it?
